What Nothing Can Bring
In Dry Gables, everyone's birthday is the biggest event of the year. This is due primarily to the attention and follow-through of Lena Denken, the town's co-owner of the Dry Goods Store. There is one birthday, however, that is seldom up to snuff — that is until Lena learns a valuable lesson from her friend Marta: how to let go — and do nothing.
